Lebron with even more shooting around him.

Millsap I assume is next. Will they put Dwight on the trade block as well?

typical lebron
yet another uber skilled teammate to cover up for the fact that he's supposed to be a great player that is not really that great at anything.
korver, ray, love, jr, kyrie...how many of the top 3 shooters do you need? a lot. a lot of threes are needed to keep his assists up. he needs help with the easy stuff like scoring, so that he can take care of the more difficult tasks of rebounding, making those difficult passes to the guy behind the arc.
lol

this guy is the freaking worst.

How dare LeBron allow his general manager to make a trade that's good for the team!

It's almost as if the Cavaliers would rather win another ring, rather than make it more difficult for themselves. I can even imagine them making another trade to improve the team. What basketball teams think that way? Why would any Superstar allow that?

there is absolutely nothing wrong with the team trying to get as good as it can. any smart player/team should be doing this.

there's only a problem if it gets vetoed or something.

Nonsense! As the poster right before me said, how many of the top 3 shooters do you need?

It's not like Magic and Bird allowed their teams to sign former MVPs like Bob McAdoo and Bill Walton after they were already winning rings! It's not like Shaq and Kobe would allow their team to sign two Top 50 guys after they had threepeated! It's not like Michael Jordan was OK with his team signing a future Hall of Famer like, oh, Dennis Rodman after he had already threepeated!

The TRUE greats always want to win with as little help as possible. And when their GMs try to improve the team they say, "No thanks - I do it alone. In fact, cut the other 14 players and I'll literally win 1 on 5, cause true superstars don't pass the ball."

GS still has ZERO excuse. I've never pulled for Lebron before, but I will now. Spineless KD should remain ringless.

Atlanta is trying to get as much as they can to get in on Butler.

I like KD and hope he can beat LeBron this year and get his chip. Just my 0.2

If anybody is wondering why the league has become less interesting this year they should just look at the 2 teams receiving all the talent at the expense of all others.

your comparisons dont make much sense. lebron did it differently. they all played with a bunch of stars, its the way lebron did it that is annoying. kobe and shaq got two hof players at the tip tail of their careers, nonsense. lebron is teaming up with top5 players in the middle of his and theirs career. again, nothing wrong, but you dont get to say youre the best when you do that.

rodman, lol, again tail end of a career.

lebron is very annoying...he'll have a dream team roster, and then you'll have to hear about how he should be the mvp of the losing team. lebron is great marketable player, a celebrity with huge draw, but he is not the best baller, wasnt ever, will never be, not even close, hes never even really been the best on any team hes been except for high school.

He really is the perfect fit. The shocker is how little they gave up for him. Now they'll probably go after a backup point guard.

So the Hawks are blowing it up? Why?

Why would they sign Dwight and then blow up the team around him? Man that guy is just cursed.
